I'm 35 y/o. Anyone else around my age?

Well, dear one, you certainly have a lot to deal with. First, I'm so sorry. It is a lot to wrap your head around, that certainty that you won't have babies. Ugh, the worst. 

Next, congrats to you and your mom for figuring out that you have endometriod adenocarcinoma, Grade 1. So good that it's Grade 1. That's the lowest, and also, it sounds like--so far--you have the slowest growing kind of cancer.

I'm not your age, but there are younger women here.

I have the same type of cancer as you!

We are all here for you.

I'm 37 and was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma after I had a hysteroscopy and D&C done because I had been bleeding for months with some very painful cramps. My Obgyn called and gave me the diagnosis and she kept saying the standard of care is a hysterectomy and that just devastated me and my husband. We had always wanted kids and the hysteroscopy had shown 2 polyps that were removed and not cancerous, so we were hopeful that meant our chances of getting pregnant would be better. Then the cancer diagnosis derailed all that. I got an appointment with a gyn oncologist in Little Rock and she said if it hadn't spread anywhere we could try fertility sparing treatment. I got my MRI done and go Tuesday to talk about the next steps because mine is a stage 1A, grade 1. 

This is a good place. Sometimes reading about everything is scary and like others have said, a lot of it will probably never even pertain to you or your treatment so don't get yourself too worked up until you talk to your gyn onco and see what's going on.   

I am also new to all this. I am 36 and had a tumor removed from each overy about 3 weeks ago. Since my husband and I did not have strong feelings about having children (we had already decided that we probably wouldn't) we went ahead and removed the ovaries as well as full hysterectomy. Still haven't felt sad about not being able to have children, so that kind of verifies my decision I guess. Doctors are unsure at this point if we are classifying the cancer (which they were able to fully remove) as stage 1 Ovarian or stage 4 of some form of GI, since the biopsy showed Adenocarcinoma which I guess is more typical with GI types of cancers. I am being recommended chemo, and will find out later this week which path they recommend treating, though it is ultimately up to me as to which treatment to go with. Feeling overwhelmed about that and not sure which to choose. Option 2 is more aggressive so I'd like to stay away from that if it is not totally necessary. 

I am also in California and new to the Kaiser system this year. I feel like I've already been bounced around through several doctors: I had a few different doctors checking on my progress when I was first admitted into the hospital while they ran tests and tried to manage my pain. Then I was referred to Gyn/Onc because they suspected Ovarian cancer. He did my surgery and referred me to follow up with Hematology Oncology because although the tumors were clearly on my ovaries, I guess the type of tissue suggests it may have matastisized from somewhere in GI tract. All my tests are not coming up with a clear indication one way or another as to the origin of the tumors. My husband is a little skeptical of the Hem/Onc doctor since he admitted he hasn't had a case like mine before. We'll see what his answer is after meeting with group to discuss my case, but my husband thinks maybe a 2nd opinion as well. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed from all the doctors and worried that it may delay the process to try and find another doctor who may end up saying the same thing...
